Charging for MVA's

What does your department charge for MVA runs? do you use an outside billing company if so who or bill yourself and if so how. We are about to start billing and trying to research costs and ways of doing it.

Fire side has a "cost recovery" ordinance enacted by the municipality, which will get us reimbursed for expendable materials, such as oil dry, absorbent pads, things like that. For long term operations (brush fires, house fires, etc.) we can get reimbursed for fuel, refreshments, etc.
